A$AP Rocky Live in Montreal

Here’s a slick short video of Harlem’s own A$AP Rocky preforming four of his well-known tracks on January 29th in Montreal. Show was opened by the dude Lunice (wish we had a clip of that), then A$AP came through and got the place going buck by the looks of it… so much good NYC rap right now, from the whole A$AP crew to Vinny Cha$e to Action Bronson to Mr. Muthaf***in’ Exquire. Ups to Lookout for doing this show, and rad to know Rocky can get across the border… Van show soon?

Nanamica Cycling Bag Spring 2012

For their spring 2012 collection Nanamica have released this great roll top style cycling bag. I am a big fan of roll tops and this particular one really nails it for me, especially in the camo colorway. If camo isn’t your thing then there is the navy and white/cream options to choose from. As is expected from Nanamica the bags are completely technical: waterproof, windproof, and made to the highest level of standards.

FTC Spring/Summer 2012 Lookbook

New lookbook for this s/s ’12 season from FTC SF, who always come correct with the simple, reality-based presentations of their collections (no urban lumberjacks in the forrest here). For The City, here we get the usual treatment of burritos, skateboarding, and the beach… always much respect the Cali originators, more after the jump.

aNYthing Spring/Summer 2012 Lookbook

Here’s another look at aNYthing’s s/s 2012 collection, which we previewed back here. Featuring Venus X of GHE20G0TH1K fame, I’m super feeling how this is laid out, with vibes from classic NYC streetwear through to 30 years of west coast rap styles (the top pic above). Just more solidness from real players in the game, more after the jump.

Anachronorm Spring/Summer 2012

Great pieces as per usual from Japan’s Anachronorm for spring/summer 2012. Off-kilter cuts and oversized everything work very well here, especially with all the denim/chambray. I’ll take all the shop coats and overalls, thanks… keep reading for more.

Death Squad MC Current Products

To conclude the 3 most non-sequitur posts possible today, here’s a look at my choice current product offerings from SoCal motorcycle ‘bringers of impending doom’ Death Squad MC. Soft and hard goods for the v-twin enthusiast, with surf and skate influences as well. Really in to the griptape footpegs and the t-bars, and  the quilted jacket and murderclava are pretty good too. All available at their online shop, more after the break.

CREEP by Hiroshi Awai Fall/Winter 2012

Been on the net for a couple days but we’ve been showcasing the designer for a while now, so here’s the forthcoming f/w ’12 collection from CREEP by Hiroshi Awai nonetheless. The Canadian-based Japanese designer treads a fairly safe path with this collection, and while half of the looks are unfortunately ultra trend centric, the stronger styles (e.g. the ones showcased above) are totally wearable and well composed. The line is available through our homies at Four Horsemen, more of the lookbook after the jump.
